Oscar-nominated director Mike Figgis (Leaving Las Vegas) celebrates the true spirit of Flamenco in this raw and vivid look at the most expressive of Spanish dances. Using both color and black and white photography, Figgis paints an unforgettable portrait that combines all three elements of the Flamenco style: singing (canta), guitar (toque) and the dance itself (baile).
Figgis turns his unblinking camera on a Flamenco troupe with just six days to prepare for a live performance. In this revealing, behind-the-scenes portrayal, he captures the sweat, toil and excitement as choreographers, musicians, singers and dancers blend their talents and artistry.
Experience the pounding rhythms, flashing guitars and fiery footwork as the day of the performance approaches. Enjoy a rare and intimate look at the women whose passion is the heart of Flamenco in this highly acclaimed documentary: Flamenco Women.
